1 А Исус пре пасхе на шест дана дође у Витанију где беше Лазар што умре, кога подиже из мртвих.
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 Онде Му, пак, зготовише вечеру, и Марта служаше, а и Лазар сеђаше с њим за трпезом;
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3 а Марија узевши литру правог нардовог многоценог мира помаза ноге Исусове, и отре косом својом ноге Његове; а кућа се напуни мириса од мира.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Онда рече један од ученика Његових, Јуда Симонов Искариотски, који Га после издаде:
4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 Зашто се ово миро не продаде за триста гроша и не даде сиромасима?
5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 А ово не рече што се стараше за сиромахе, него што беше лупеж, и имаше ковчежић, и ношаше што се меташе у њ.
6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 А Исус рече: Не дирајте у њу; она је то дохранила за дан мог погреба;
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 јер сиромахе свагда имате са собом, а мене немате свагда.
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
9 Разуме, пак, многи народ из Јудеје да је онде и дођоше не само Исуса ради него и да виде Лазара ког подиже из мртвих.
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 А главари свештенички договорише се да и Лазара убију;
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
11 јер многи њега ради иђаху из Јудеје и вероваху Исуса.
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
12 А сутрадан, многи од народа који беше дошао на празник, чувши да Исус иде у Јерусалим
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 узеше гране од финика и изиђоше Му на сусрет, и викаху говорећи: Осана! Благословен који иде у име Господње, цар Израиљев.
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
14 А Исус нашавши магаре уседе на њ, као што је писано:
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 Не бој се кћери Сионова, ево цар твој иде седећи на магарету.
15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 Али ово ученици Његови не разумеше пре: него кад се прослави Исус онда се опоменуше да ово беше за Њега писано, и ово Му учинише.
16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 А народ сведочаше који беше пре с Њим кад Лазара изазва из гроба и подиже га из мртвих.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Зато Га и срете народ, јер чуше да Он учини ово чудо.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 А фарисеји говораху међу собом: Видите да ништа не помаже? Гле, свет иде за њим.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
20 А беху неки Грци који беху дошли на празник да се моле Богу.
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Они дакле приступише к Филипу, који беше из Витсаиде галилејске, и мољаху га говорећи: Господине! Ми бисмо хтели да видимо Исуса.
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Дође Филип и каза Андрији, а Андрија и Филип опет казаше Исусу.
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 А Исус одговори им говорећи: Дође час да се прослави Син човечији.
23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Заиста, заиста вам кажем: Ако зрно пшенично паднувши на земљу не умре, оно једно остане; ако ли умре много рода роди;
24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 који љуби душу своју изгубиће је, а ко мрзи на душу своју на овом свету, сачуваће је за живот вечни.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
26 Ко мени служи, за мном нек иде, и где сам ја онде и слуга мој нек буде; и ко мени служи оног ће поштовати Отац мој.
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Сад је душа моја жалосна; и шта да кажем? Оче! Сачувај ме од овог часа; али за то дођох на час овај.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
28 Оче! Прослави име своје! Тада глас дође с неба: И прославио сам и опет ћу прославити.
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 А кад чу народ који стајаше, говораху: Гром загрми; а други говораху: Анђео му говори.
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
30 Исус одговори и рече: Овај глас не би мене ради него народа ради.
30 Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Сад је суд овом свету; сад ће бити истеран кнез овог света напоље.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 И кад ја будем подигнут од земље, све ћу привући к себи.
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 А ово говораше да покаже каквом ће смрти умрети.
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 Народ Му одговори: Ми чусмо из закона да ће Христос остати вавек; како ти говориш да се сину човечијем ваља подигнути? Ко је тај син човечији?
34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”
35 А Исус им рече: Још је мало времена видело с вама; ходите док видело имате да вас тама не обузме; јер ко ходи по тами не зна куда иде.
35 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
36 Док видело имате верујте видело, да будете синови видела. Рекавши ово Исус отиде и сакри се од њих.
36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Ако је и чинио толика чудеса пред њима, опет Га не вероваху;
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
38 да се збуде реч Исаије пророка који рече: Господе! Ко верова говорењу нашем? И рука Господња коме се откри?
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Зато не могаху веровати, јер опет рече Исаија:
39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
40 Заслепио је очи њихове и окаменио срца њихова, да не виде очима ни срцем разумеју, и не обрате се да их исцелим.
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
41 Ово рече Исаија кад виде славу Његову и говори за Њега.
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Али опет и од кнезова многи Га вероваше; него ради фарисеја не признаваху, да не би били изгнани из зборнице;
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
43 јер им већма омиле слава људска него слава Божија.
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
44 А Исус повика и рече: Ко мене верује не верује мене, него Оног који ме посла;
44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 и ко види мене, види Оног који ме посла.
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Ја дођох видело на свет, да ниједан који ме верује не остане у тами.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 И ко чује моје речи и не верује, ја му нећу судити; јер ја не дођох да судим свету, него да спасем свет.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Који се одрече мене, и не прима речи моје, има себи судију: реч коју ја говорих она ће му судити у последњи дан;
48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
49 јер ја од себе не говорих, него Отац који ме посла Он ми даде заповест шта ћу казати и шта ћу говорити.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
50 И знам да је заповест Његова живот вечни. Шта ја дакле говорим онако говорим као што ми рече Отац.
50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
What is it, Brethren, which we have heard the Lord saying, "He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me"?

After our Lord's raising of one to life, who had been four days dead, to the utter amazement of the Jews, some of whom believed on seeing it, and others perished in their envy, because of that sweet savor which is unto life to some, and to others unto death; after He had sat down to meat with Lazarus--the one …
